Balloons aren’t just for kids anymore. For example, jerk balloons actually exist, and as the name implies, they’re balloons for jerks. As soon as you read the text printed on each of them, you’ll understand why. They might look like typical colorful balloons from afar, but take a couple more steps closer and you’ll see that what’s printed on them are rude and mean-spirited phrases and messages, like “you are a douchebag” and “I hate you.”

It obviously isn’t a good idea to let a kid hold your jerk balloon while you go to the bathroom or something.

Did you wake up to one of those days again? Where everything that can go wrong goes wrong, and you’re stuck working at home when you should be out relaxing and unwinding with friends? Well, just take one look out of this window and fantasize for a minute–then finish whatever it is you have to do and plan a trip to the beach, stat!

Not that the window is real or anything, but you probably already knew that. Rather, it’s a wall sticker by Fathead that depicts an idyllic and tranquil scene that looks like it came straight from the Virgin Islands: white sand, clear water, palm trees. If you spend a lot of time holed up in an office cubicle or in your room, then here’s something you can stick on the wall to make every day a little bit brighter.

Love them or hate them, squirrels are here to stay. Some people put out feeders on their lawn to give passing squirrels a treat or two (and to make sure they’re fed enough, at the very least, so they won’t attempt to forage for food in the garbage or in the house.) If you’re bored, belong in the “hate” category, or simply want to get some laughs in return for the food, then this Horse Head squirrel feeder by Archie McPhee is something you need.

As the name implies, it’s a squirrel feeder in the shape of a horse’s head, so when the squirrels pokes its head in to chow down, well…you know what happens.

Valentine’s day sucks for a lot of people–the primary reason being how it makes singles out of place with all the couple-themed offers and dinner deals retailers and restaurants put out that time of the year. But as a single person on happy hearts day, you can either go with the flow and ignore all the red paper hearts strewn all over the place–or have some fun with your singlehood.

If you still find yourself single (but, of course, never alone) on February 14th next year, then here’s a fun project that you can take on, just for the heck of it: the DIY Make-Out Pillow.… Continue Reading

Stop flashing your iPhone around in public while it’s naked. For a couple of bucks, you can dress it up in some funky skivvies and be done with it. It basically fits over your smartphone and covers up your home button from other people’s prying eyes.

Obviously, the smartphone undies are being sold as a novelty and don’t protect your phone in any way whatsoever. It does add the unexpected feature of covering up the home button, in case you’re prone to accidentally pressing it at inopportune moments.

There’s a reason why you should pay attention to labels. Most health buffs these days pick ‘organic’ options where they’re available, while those on a particular diet look for products marked ‘gluten-free.’ But for the ultimate ‘healthy’ treat, I invite you to give organic dehydrated water a shot. It’s free from MSG, it doesn’t contain any gluten, and it’s fresh and definitely not made from concentrate, if you’re worried about that.

Oh, and in case you missed the part about it being dehydrated water, then you fit the target market for these tins–the fools market, that is.

Oh, you think you’re clever because now you’re at a party and you have both your hands free while carrying your wine glass around? You call it multitasking, do you? Well, here’s a wake up call, buddy: you’re just lazy. Sure, the 36inch strap lets you hang that glass just about anywhere on your chest and sure it’s convenient and…. You know what guys? We got nothing. There’s nothing we can say about the actual product above that isn’t just opinionated commentary. So there you have it. It’s a strap for carrying your wine glass around your neck. Some people think it’s genius, we… we’re not so sure. It’s $25 for a set of two.

Yeah, it’s kind of like a gag, but what the heck. These are fingerless gloves made to look like a guy’s underpants. They’re made from 95% cotton and 5% spandex, allegedly giving them the same look and feel as regular briefs. And yes, they’re actually for sale, at $12 for a pair.

If you have the kind of sense of humor that can appreciate something like this, hit the jump for a cringe-worthy infomercial as well as a purchase link.
